As for Arie, there's makeup that would cover his zits.

Re: Arie - Bachelorette 8

I don't get the sense that Arie is a player. To me, a player is someone who is looking to go from conquest to conquest, doesn't really care about the other person, and is not really motivated to be in a relationship. Ryan seemed like a player.

I don't think Arie is like that. However, I get the sense that Arie likes to be in that infatuation phase of a relationship. He likes the flirting and falling in love feeling. But I don't see him wanting to be in the day-to-day part of the relationship. As an Indy race car driver, he would be surrounded by available women when he's doing all the meet-and-greets and publicity. If he wanted a relationship, he could have his pick of amazing women. If Arie has a hard time finding the right woman, I think its because he gets bored with the normal relationship stuff and movies on. If he ends up with Emily, I don't see that it would be any different, and he may even get bored sooner since they won't be going on producer-created dates.

Considering that Arie was in a relationship with a woman with kids for several years, and lived with that woman, and ended up leaving because she didn't want more children and he did... I don't see how that equates to your vision of him whatsoever. He quite obviously has no problem with the day-to-day part of a relationship, he's already shown that that's exactly what he does want, with the right woman.

Well....I agree it's a huge generalization. I married a man who isn't that much taller/bigger than I am physically and he doesn't drive fast cars or spend 10 hours at the gym to compensate. He doesn't need to compensate. He's a wonderful, kind, loving man who is a tremendous husband and an amazing father.

That is really sweet. And I have a sneaky suspicion he feels the same about you.

I guess it's just me, but Arie's kisses look too wet, like slobber wet. LOL I see way more passion and hotness between EM and Jef. But maybe because I'm Team JEM. Sean is reminding me more and more of Brad, just not feeling the warmth. And Chris, poor Chris, too needy.

He seems like a normal average guy to me. Being obsessed with your muscles seems a bit odd to me, rather than normal, frankly. Plus I think Arie's natural physique tends more to long smooth muscles than round bulgy muscles -- everyone is built differently.

Arie is a 12 year old boy in a man's body. JMO He's nice, but his build and look is so not my type. But to each their own.
